Zwift Chat

[Whorty]

I've got about 20k to go myself. Going to make a strong push in early Jan to knock it out.

I'm 37% complete with 19,000 metres climbed. 31,000 metres left (that's about 100,000 ft ) I recon I'll be done around March time if I don't keep getting distracted by races and Bkool

I am going to take the opportunity to wish you all a Merry Christmas. I would have sent you all a free copy of the co -authored with Tommy latest Kindle title “ Excuses and Rule 5; squaring the circle” but it seems Tommy has not quite finished with the appendices Something about endless time arguing with Mrs TT coz he is still insisting on KFC gravy on the Christmas bird

Anyways,
Enjoy, be Merry and don’t count the calories

Well yes apologies to all! I must admit my plans for my own book:’fine dining and other fast food experiences’,has somewhat distracted me from my offer to write the introduction to Bob’s latest book of excuses. If it’s any consolation I believe there is already 4 volumes at the shops...

Seriously though. I hope everyone has a fantastic Christmas. And If you’re reading this it probably means you’re neglecting your friends and family right now... so step away from the keyboard for a couple of days, and crack open a drink or something!

Just back from the local village pub where I imbibed in a couple of the landlord's finest quoffable ale whilst the little lady enjoyed a couple of Baileys (well, it is Christmas).

Have a good one guys and see you on the other side

Thanks, the trouble is that when you are racing you dont know what position you are in overall or in your group.
I'm sure that there were some group D riders ahead in the race but when I looked at the results afterwards I was pleasantly surprised.

That's how the screen looks for me using the Bkool Pro so I'd say all was OK. Given you had resistance problems in Zwift with the Bkool Pro, and you're having the same now with the Elite, maybe it's not the trainers that's the problem. Could try re-installing Zwift software, or if using an Ant+ getting a new one (or if using BT, try an Ant+).

Hi Whorty sorry to hear of your troubles over Christmas and hope your wife is well.
I've tried the Elite on my laptop using bluetooth and the experience was alot better than with Ant+ FE-C as it was more stable and it seemed easier with less effort needed.
I have tried using a different Ant+ dongle and will try another one in desperation which has been ordered through wiggle.
It seems to have settled down again on Ant+ but I will keep monitoring it for now.
Got to say I'm enjoying the zwift experience at the moment.

What trainer are you using and are you controlling with Ant+ or bluetooth

You can add smoothing to the power displayed, so that you don't fluctuate too much. Also is your pedal action smooth?

To set smoothing


Click Menu>Settings and make sure you have 3 Sec Avg selected

Marino Neo ant+
Andy pedal action bit square on times but cadence stable I already have it set to the 3 second avg
My normal cadence is 85 and no problem holding
